C. Lampe, K. E. Peters, L. B. Magoon, K. J. Bird, P. G. Lillis
2003, Open-File Report 2003-326
The complex petroleum province of the Alaskan North Slope contains six petroleum systems (Magoon and others, this session). Source rocks for four of these systems include the Hue-gamma ray zone (Hue-GRZ), pebble shale unit, Kingak Shale, and Shublik Formation. Geochemical data for these source rocks are investigated in greater detail...

2003, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2003-4029
A study of recently developed residential/commercial areas of Salt Lake Valley, Utah, was done from 1999 to 2001 in areas in which shallow ground water has the potential to move to a deeper aquifer that is used for public supply. Thirty monitoring wells were drilled and sampled in 1999 as...

Flood-frequency prediction methods for unregulated streams of Tennessee, 2000
George S. Law, Gary D. Tasker
2003, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2003-4176
Up-to-date flood-frequency prediction methods for unregulated, ungaged rivers and streams of Tennessee have been developed. Prediction methods include the regional-regression method and the newer region-of-influence method. The prediction methods were developed using stream-gage records from unregulated streams draining basins having from 1 percent to about 30 percent total impervious area....
LakeVOC; A Deterministic Model to Estimate Volatile Organic Compound Concentrations in Reservoirs and Lakes
David A. Bender, William E. Asher, John S. Zogorski
2003, Open-File Report 2003-212
This report documents LakeVOC, a model to estimate volatile organic compound (VOC) concentrations in lakes and reservoirs. LakeVOC represents the lake or reservoir as a two-layer system and estimates VOC concentrations in both the epilimnion and hypolimnion. The air-water flux of a VOC is characterized in LakeVOC in terms of...

Association of deformation and fluid events in the central Brooks Range fold-and-thrust belt, Northern Alaska
Thomas E. Moore, Christopher J. Potter, Paul B. O'Sullivan, Kevin L. Shelton, Michael B. Underwood
2003, Open-File Report 2003-327
Ocentral Brooks Range consists of two superposed north-directed contractional orogens, one formed between 140-120 Ma and the other at ~60-45 Ma. The older orogen was an arc-continent collisional zone characterized by far-traveled allochthons and relatively low structural relief. The younger orogen is a retroarc thrust belt with relatively low amounts...
